Read the passage then choose the best answer for each question Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a bacterial organism that has been isolated from sea water, sellfish ,finfish, plankton,and salt springs. It has been a major cause of food poisoning in Japan, compelling the Japanese to do several studies on it. They have confirmed the presence of V.parahaemolyticus in the North and central Pacific, with the highest abundance in inshore waters, particularly in or near large harbors. A man named Nishio studied the relationship between the chloride content of sea water and the seasonal distribution of V.parahaemolyticus and concluded that while the isolation of the organism was independent of the sodium chloride content, the distribution of the bacteria in sea water was dependent on water temperature. In fact, it has been isolated in high frequencies during summer, from june to September, but was not isolated with the same frequency in winter. Within four or five days after eating contaminated foods, a person will begin to experience diarrhea, the most common symptom; this will very often be accompanied by stomach crapms, nausea, and vomitting. headache and fever, with or without chills, may also be experienced.

The United states government is currently taking a serious look at the moon and Mars as potential places for future human settlement for number of reasons. first, they could be a future source of natural resources desperately needed on Earth. Second, the moon could serve as a training ground or a kind of stepping stone for later journeys to Mars. Therefore, the moon is already on NASA's docket for further exploration within the next couple of decades, which,at least to some experts, is completely unnecessary mainly due to the needless risks involved.With Mars looming as the eventual long- term goal, serious questions exist as to whether the dangers and difficulties of a lunar settlement are too extreme and unnecessary. The moon's relatively harsh environment and the greater potential of natural resources on Mars are major reasons that make lunar settlements too great a liability and why the moon should be bypassed. One major reason a lunar settlement is too hazardous in the contrast between the environment of the moon and the red planet.Numerous scientists believe the moon is too difficult for human settlement as compared in Mars.The fact that the moon has no atmosphere poses the greatest threat to human beings. Atmosphere is crucial because it protects humans and all other life from continuous bombardment cosmic radiation caused by sources such as the sun . This radiation is especially dangerous to humans because it increases the risk of cancer and can negatively alter and multate DNA.On the other hand, while Mars' atmosphere is significantly thinner than Earth's, at least it has one and would create some sort of protective barrier for humans. Another important characteristic necessary for sustainable human settlement is water, of which the moon is believed to have none . If lunar settelements are to be successful , water will be a key component and must be brought with the colonists and continually supplied by further expeditions from Earth, which means they will have a limited capacity of it. Converserly,Mars contains vast quaintities of water ice, dry ice, and also snow. There is also ample evident that water once exisited at the surface of Mars and might return in the future if the planet warms.With increased technological advances in conversion capabilities, the potential for setterlers to remain on Mars indefinitely by being increasingly self-sufficient makes Mars a much more attractive goal as a space colony than the moon. Future colonists will not only benefit from potential water sources on Mars; the planet is also rich in other basic elements vital to sustained life. These resoureces include nitrogent, oxygen, and hydrogen. Mars also contains many minerals that contain iron, silicon, and magnesium, which can be used in productive ways. For example, silicon can be used to make solar cells to store energy and create electricity. Hydrogen can be extracted from water sources and used a fuel. Moreover, it can be combined with nitrogen to form fertilizing materials necessary to a sustainable colony. Due to these factors ,Mars would be a more successful candidate for exploration and settlement because it contains the basic resources necessary for humans to survive more independently of aid from Earth than they would on the moon. Clearly, any future settlements on Mars or the moon will be monumental efforts for the space agencies and astronauts involved. The expenses incurred will be extreme and are a further reason why plans and implementation should forcus on the project, which has the greater potential of long-term success. While the moon may serve as a temporary training ground for Mars, it could end up becoming a major diversion from Mars and place humans in too great a risk with too little benefit. Because the environment of Mars is more similar to that of Earth and it contains important resources necessary to sustain life, it should be the one and only option for any kind of long-term human settlement. Furthermore, the moon has been eclipsed by mankind,and it is only natural that Mars be the next step for space exploration. Finally, the habitation of Mars would not only be a milestone in space but also an excellent opportunity for mankind to redeem itself from past exploits on Earth and preserve and make the best use of the natural resources Mars has to offer. Cu 71: According to paragraph 1, which of the following is true of space settlement? A. Their danger can not be justified due to the risk to human life and high cost B. They must find incorporate the moon as a practice arena for Mars exploration C. They shoud have already been instigated by NASA many years ago D. They could prove to be a last resort for gaining life-sustaining sulpplies Cu 72: The word looming in the passage is closest in meaning to A. waiting B. expanding C. competing D. emerging

They exist in liquid form below the surface and ice at the immediate surface Cu 78: According to paragraph 4, what is true about the mineral content of Mars? A.

Some will help future colonists create their own sources of energy D. The planet lacks the fundalmental elements of carbon and nitrogen Cu 79: The word fertilizing in the passage is closest in meaning to A. saturating B. suffocating C. exhausting D. nourishing Cu 80: The author of the passage implies that future space exploration A.
